Friends of Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial
The Friends of Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, also known as The Perry Group, is a volunteer, nonprofit organization working with the National Park Service and the local, national, and international community to commemorate the Battle of Lake Erie and celebrate the long-lasting peace between Britain, Canada and the United States.
Since 1989, The Perry Group has supported Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial in its educational, historic and peacekeeping goals through the promotion and sponsorship of the Memorials' programs and special events. Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, located in Put-in-Bay, Ohio was constructed in 1913 to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812, and to celebrate the long-lasting peace between Britain, Canada and the United States.
